I just remembered that I'd wanted to mention
this, but things have
been busy and I forgot. My mother knows of my fondness for antique
computers, and she keeps her eyes open at thrift stores and related
places. She picked up a Texas Instruments Compact Computer 40 for me
and presented it to me for my birthday a month ago.
I had never heard of this machine, but now I've done some reading
and I've played with it a bit. It's pretty neat! Has anyone else
here messed with one?
Yup, I find it fun. I just wish they'd released that wafertape drive
because it has no storage options *at all* (unless you count hard copy
on the printer, which is also cute).
